Re: the Bible

Although Tolkien claimed to hate allegory and deny its presence in his writings, I think a subconscious Christian vision of good vs. evil is there.

There is not an acual Christ-figure that comes into play, but I think the nine walkers can be viewed as 'disciples' somewhat, following the righteous path and their beliefs of duty.
